Early, and somewhere here at SI I mentioned that Trap bind at least three VEGF form (A-C), due to fact that it is construct of the R1 and R2 receptor. Seams that I was wrong in my assumption. At least not as potently as for VEGF-A,B Trap does not bind C and D at lower conc.

jci.org

Table1. and graph indicate no binding for VEGF-C/D

While article deal with VEGF-A rule in corneal hemangiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, is it possible to translate finding in cancer model field, cancer biology? Interesting that Avastin (which bind C and D even with lower potency relative to Trap, again my assumption) did not generate benefit in late stage metastatic breast cancer (highly lymphangiogenic). Now the question is why Avastin did work in naive metastatic CRC and will it work in metastatic NSCLC?????
